About

A Marketing Plan is the key document that artists, managers, and labels use to map the development of an artist. The marketing plan will establish the artist's goals and will provide a path to accomplishing those goals.



The workshop: Andres Mendoza will walk participants through the steps needed to write a solid marketing plan for the current music industry environment. Using past examples and group discussions, Andres will show how to write a plan that is ambitious, but realistic. He will describe how he creates marketing plans that take a 360 degree approach, combining branding, publicity, promotions, touring, social networking, and business development.
